Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-31398341-20170409101440

I saw only a few people mentioning about competitive pokemon battle. So discussing the viability of each pokemon maybe a good idea to start doing a team :). While there are many pokemon in this game, not even half of them is usable in Battle Colosseum. Although the viability of each pokemon are not the same, those in C rank can still be very effective if used properly with good EV training and moveset.

NOTE :

-This is for singles format battle.

-Many pokemon are still not ranked here.

-If you have suggestions from unranked to ranked or rank changes, let me know.

-Irrelevant pokemon will stay unranked here.

-Some moves are unreleased, which deters many pokemon from being in higher ranks. Such as for Lucario: it needs steel type moves to be effective.
